- DE 10 2004 053 118 A1 discloses an air filter device for an internal combustion engine that comprises a hollow cylindrical filter element in a filter housing, wherein the filter element is flowed through by the air to be purified in radial direction from the interior to the exterior.
- the air is guided through an open axial end face into the interior of a filter medium body of the filter element and flows through the wall of the filter medium body in radial direction from the interior to the exterior. Subsequently, the purified air is discharged through an outlet socket from the air filter device.
- the filter element is placed onto an inlet socket which is located at the bottom of the filter housing and projects into the interior of the filter element in the mounted state.
- the incoming air flows through the inlet socket axially into the interior of the filter element and is subsequently deflected in radial direction for flow through the filter medium body.
- the invention has the object to embody a filter device and a round filter element, that comprises an inwardly positioned flow space and is flowed through by the fluid to be purified in radial direction from the interior to the exterior, with simple constructive measures in such a way that a high filtration efficiency is ensured over a long operating period.
- the filter housing comprises a housing cover that at an inner side comprises a flow guiding rib which projects into the inwardly positioned flow space of the round filter element.
- the filter device comprises a round filter element and a filter housing for receiving the round filter element.
- the round filter element comprises a filter medium body whose wall can be flowed through by the fluid to be purified in radial direction relative to the longitudinal axis of the filter medium body; moreover, an end disk at opposite end faces of the filter medium body, respectively.
- the raw side is located in the inwardly positioned flow space inside the filter medium body and a support grid is arranged at the outer wall of the filter medium body.
- the filter housing comprises a housing cover that, at its inner side, comprises a flow guiding rib which projects into the inwardly positioned flow space of the round filter element.
- the filter housing includes a housing cover which can be attached to the filter housing base in order to close off the receiving space inside the filter housing base in which the filter element is inserted. Accordingly, at the inner side of the housing cover, a preferably blade-shaped flow guiding rib is arranged which aids in introducing the fluid flow into the inwardly positioned flow space and in uniform particle loading of the filter element during filtration of the fluid, in particular also for non-symmetrical or non-parallel flow conditions.
- the unpurified fluid is preferably guided from the exterior in radial direction toward the filter medium body and impacts then on the flow guiding rib at the inner side of the housing cover that influences the impacting fluid flow, for example, divides it into two and/or guides it in the direction toward the inwardly positioned flow space of the filter medium body.
- the round filter element can be designed such that it has an open end disk that comprises a flow opening through which the flow guiding rib projects wherein by means of or through the flow opening the unpurified fluid is introduced into the inwardly positioned flow space inside the filter medium body.
- the filter medium body is preferably configured to be flowed through in radial direction from the interior to the exterior.
- a lateral flow opening is provided in the housing cover which is preferably embodied as an inflow opening and, particularly preferred, corresponds with a further inflow opening which is provided in the filter housing base in such a way that, when the housing cover is attached, the inflow openings are lying on top of each other.
- the flow guiding rib can have a curvature, preferably such that a fluid flow that is radially supplied through the inflow opening of the housing cover is subjected to a deflection by the flow guiding rib in the direction toward the inwardly positioned flow space of the filter medium body.
- a lateral inflow opening for the fluid to be supplied is advantageously provided also in the filter housing base of the filter housing wherein this inflow opening in the filter housing base and the lateral inflow opening in the housing cover are lying on top of each other in the mounted state and form a continuous flow path for the incoming fluid.
- the flow guiding rib is embodied either to be straight and positioned in a plane or, according to an alternative embodiment, curved. In case of a straight configuration, the flow guiding rib can extend in axial direction of the filter element so that the wall faces of the flow guiding rib extend parallel to the longitudinal axis of the filter element.
- an end face of the flow guiding rib is facing the flow opening in the housing cover.
- the flow guiding rib can be arranged in particular adjacent to the inflow opening in the housing cover, i.e., can be positioned in such a way that the end face of the flow guiding rib is facing the inflow opening in the housing cover.
- the fluid flow which is radially supplied through the housing cover impinges on the flow guiding rib and experiences a deflection in the direction toward the inwardly positioned flow space inside the filter medium body.
- the flow guiding rib and the inflow opening can be arranged at least approximately parallel.
- the filter housing base is provided with a lateral outflow opening that is preferably pointing in radial direction and through which the purified fluid can flow out. It can be expedient that the outflow opening is at least approximately parallel to the inflow opening as well as to the flow guiding rib.
- the filter element in the mounted state projects axially slightly past the end face of the filter housing base so that removal of the filter element from the filter housing base, for example, for servicing purposes, is facilitated.
- the seal carrier with the sealing element is positioned at a small axial spacing relative to the protruding end face of the filter element and provides for a flow-tight separation between the externally positioned section of the filter element and the inwardly positioned section of the filter element received in the filter housing base.
- the round filter element according to the invention is preferably used for gas filtration, for example, for filtration of air, in particular in the intake manifold of an internal combustion engine of a vehicle.
- the filter element comprises an annularly closed filter medium body whose wall is flowed through by the fluid to be purified in radial direction.
- the filter medium body surrounds an inwardly positioned flow space that is delimited by the inner wall of the filter medium body, wherein the inner wall forms the raw side.
- the fluid to be purified is guided axially into the inwardly positioned flow space and flows through the wall of the filter medium body in radial direction relative to its longitudinal axis.
- the outer side of the filter medium body forms the clean side through which the purified fluid exits from the wall of the filter medium body.
- one end disk comprises a central opening that is communicating with the inwardly positioned flow space; however, the oppositely positioned end disk is embodied in a closed configuration and closes off the inwardly positioned flow space outwardly in axial direction.
- the end disk of the filter element that is provided with the central opening is rounded at its radial inner side whereby the inflow of the raw air into the interior in the filter medium body is facilitated.
- This is of particular importance in connection with the inflow into the interior of the filter element for minimizing the total pressure loss when, as preferred in the present case, the air flows freely into the interior and, as further preferred in the present case, no flow pipe is provided that guides the air stream directly into the interior.
- the radius of the rounded portion at the radial inner side of the end disk is advantageously larger than at the radial outer side.
- the radius at the radial inner side is embodied, as needed, so large that the starting point of the radius at the end face is still within the contour of the filter medium body.
- the radius of the rounded portion at the radial inner side of the end disk is, for example, in a range between 5 mm and 15 mm, for example, is 7.5 mm.
- the round filter element and the filter medium body can be designed to be hollow cylindrical so that the inwardly positioned flow space is cylindrical.
- the round filter element and the filter medium body are elongate and have an oval or ovalized cross section shape.
- cross section shapes with parallel long sides and semicircular narrow sides are possible.
- concave or convex long sides with radially inwardly oriented bulges or radially outwardly oriented bulges are conceivable.
- the inner wall and the outer wall of the filter medium body extend concentrically to each other so that the filter medium body has a constant radial thickness.
- the round filter element has a cross section shape that tapers in axial direction so that the outer circumference of the round filter element in the region of the first end disk is of a different size in comparison to the outer circumference of the round filter element in the region of the oppositely positioned second end disk.
- round cross section shapes in the region of both end disks are also conceivable so that the round filter element and the filter medium body are embodied in a conical shape.
- the end disk at the end face with the smaller outer circumference can be designed to be closed and to close off axially the inwardly positioned flow space, while the oppositely positioned end disk at the larger outer circumference comprises a flow opening for introducing fluid into the inwardly positioned flow space.
- end disk at the end face with the larger outer circumference is embodied to be closed and closes off axially the inwardly positioned flow space and the oppositely positioned end disk at the smaller outer circumference comprises a flow opening for introducing fluid into the inwardly positioned flow space.
- the round filter element according to the invention comprises at the outer wall of the filter medium body a support grid that is in particular designed to be shape-stable.
- the support grid is, for example, embodied as a thermoplastic injection-molded part. Due to the flow through the filter medium body in radial direction from the interior to the exterior, the wall of the filter medium body is subjected to a radial outwardly oriented pressure under which the wall has the tendency to curve outwardly.
- the support grid at the outer wall of the filter medium body prevents a deformation of the wall in radial direction outwardly and thus maintains the shape of the filter medium body during filtration so that a deformation is avoided.
- the filter medium body maintains over a long operating period its original geometric shape and the flow conditions during filtration of the fluid are maintained. Also, the filter medium body experiences at the outer side a support action by the support grid so that the filter medium body is subjected to reduced loads and the risk of damage of the filter medium body is reduced.
- at least one end face of the support grid is comprised preferably of a softer material than the support grid and a seal carrier at the filter element which receives a sealing element.
- the end disk or the end disks are produced of a pourable material such as, as an example and preferred, polyurethane (PUR), in particular polyurethane foam.
- PUR polyurethane
- the filter medium body is preferably configured as a folded filter with a plurality of filter folds.
- the filter folds extend preferably in or approximately in radial direction and thus in the flow direction and extend at the same time axially between the two end faces of the filter medium body.
- the folded filter is of an annularly closed configuration.
- precisely one filter medium body embodied as a round filter is arranged in the filter element.
- a shaped body is projecting into one end face of the filter medium body and stabilizes additionally the filter medium body and secures the filter folds in the desired position in the embodiment as a folded filter.
- the shaped body is preferably located at the end face with reduced cross section surface.
- the shaped body can be embodied as one piece together with the support grid at the filter medium body so that supporting forces, acting on the end face of the filter element with the shaped body, are distributed through the shaped body to the support grid and the end disk is relieved of the supporting forces.
- the outer contour of the shaped body corresponds advantageously to the outer contour and/or the inner contour of the filter medium body at its end face into which the shaped body is projecting into the filter medium body. It can be expedient to connect the shaped body at least over sections thereof to the neighboring end disk, for example, to form a support sleeve on the shaped body that is projecting into the end disk.
- the end disk into which one or a plurality of sections of the shaped body are projecting is preferably of a closed configuration and flow-tightly seals the interior in the filter medium body.
- the shaped body can taper as needed toward its free end face in a wedge shape whereby the manufacturing process of the filter element is simplified and supported.
- the shaped body is in particular embodied as an elongate body and extends between opposite sides of the support grid.
- the round filter element comprises a sealing element, in particular a circumferentially extending sealing ring that is arranged on a seal carrier embodied separate from the end disk and arranged adjacent to the end disk at the raw side through which the unpurified fluid is introduced into the inwardly positioned flow space.
- the sealing element is positioned axially and radially at a spacing relative to the neighboring nearest end disk. Through the sealing element, a flow-tight separation of the raw side from the clean side is realized. Due to the configuration of the seal carrier separate from the end disk, the end disk is not subjected to holding and sealing forces that are absorbed by the sealing element and the seal carrier in the installation situation of the round filter element.
- seal carrier and sealing element Due to the spacing of the sealing element and advantageously also of the seal carrier in axial and radial directions relative to the neighboring end disk, seal carrier and sealing element also have a spacing relative to the clean side or exterior side of the filter medium body so that the fluid can exit via the clean side of the filter medium, unhindered by the seal carrier and by the sealing element.
- the seal carrier is fluid-tightly embodied and connects advantageously the nearest end disk fluid-tightly with the sealing element.
- the seal carrier is axially spaced apart relative to the end face of the neighboring nearest end disk. Relative to the total axial height of the filter element, the axial spacing amounts to, for example, maximally 30% of the axial height, preferably maximally 20% of the axial height, or maximally 10% of the axial height.
- the seal carrier is arranged at the support grid.
- a one-piece configuration of support grid and seal carrier is conceivable, which are preferably embodied as plastic components. The sealing and holding as well as supporting forces are absorbed correspondingly by the seal carrier and the support grid while the filter medium body is relieved of these forces.
- the seal carrier is configured as a circumferentially extending carrier wall which is extending at a spacing to the outwardly positioned wall surface of the filter medium body.
- the carrier wall extends in particular parallel to the outwardly positioned wall surface of the filter medium body.
- the sealing element is advantageously inserted into a receiving groove in the carrier wall, wherein the receiving groove is preferably located at or adjacent to an end face of the carrier wall. The position of the sealing element at the carrier wall is located at the end face of the carrier wall which is facing away from the nearest end disk.
- the seal carrier or the carrier wall in particular at the end face of the seal carrier or carrier wall facing away from the sealing element, is connected seal-tightly and preferably with form fit to the end disk nearest the sealing element, i.e., the open end disk, in particular is embedded therein or glued thereto.
- the unit of seal carrier and support grid can advantageously be connected respectively in such a way to both end disks, preferably respectively by embedding the respective end face ends in the respective end disk, so that the end face ends of seal carrier and support grid are embedded with form fit in the end disks.
- the seal carrier is supported advantageously at a housing component, for example, at an inwardly positioned shoulder in a filter housing base that receives the filter element and to which a housing cover can be attached.
- knobs can be integrally formed, as needed, advantageously with axial spacing relative to the end face. These knobs have the function of a tolerance compensation and can compensate deviations of the seal carrier relative to a plane surface for attaching the housing cover and/or placing onto the shoulder in the filter housing base.
- the knobs are, for example, rod-shaped and are positioned parallel to the sidewall of the seal carrier; the rod-shaped knobs extend, for example, in radial direction. In the installed position, the knobs are pressed into the material of the housing component and/or the knobs are in particular elastically or plastically deformed and compensate thereby tolerance deviations.
- a softer material is selected for the knobs than for the housing component (in particular the housing cover) so that the deformation is substantially or completely realized by the knobs.
- the smaller end disk comprises radially projecting support cams.
- the support cams project in radial direction no farther than the oppositely positioned end disk or the inner contour or outer contour of the oppositely positioned seal.
- a slight protrusion may be provided in order to achieve a particularly strong clamping action.
- the inner contour of seal carrier and/or sealing element extends advantageously in radial direction substantially along the outer circumference of the larger end disk.
- the support cams are preferably located at the long sides and are in particular arranged at the end disk, preferably at the smaller end disk, in particular embodied as one piece together with the end disk and integrally formed thereat.
- the cams project in radial direction past the end disk and support preferably the round filter element at the receiving filter housing in the installed state.

- a support grid 13 which is in particular made of plastic material and is embodied separate from the end disks 9 and 10 .
- the support grid 13 supports the filter medium body at its outer wall in radial direction.

- a shaped body 22 is provided that is in particular formed as one piece together with the support grid 13 .
- the shaped body 22 projects axially into the inwardly positioned flow space 7 inside the filter medium body 6 and provides for a stabilization of the filter medium body 6 which is embodied as a folded filter.
- the shaped body 22 tapers toward its open end face in a wedge shape and comprises in the central region a lowered support sleeve 23 that projects into the bottom end disk 10 .
- the radially outwardly positioned sections of the shaped body 22 also project into the end disk 10 whereby a fixed connection between the shaped body 22 and the bottom end disk 10 is achieved.
- the shaped body 22 is at least substantially of a straight configuration and extends in longitudinal direction of the filter medium body 6 .
- the radially outwardly positioned sections of the shaped body 22 are connected to the support grid 13 so that supporting and holding forces are absorbed by the shaped body 22 and the bottom end disk 10 is relieved.
